Central Park Belaperla

Belaperla is a different kind of home from most on our list. It is a collection of studio and one-bedroom suites at Central Park Resorts that come fully furnished and fully serviced, pairing rich interiors and wide views with the hospitality services Central Park runs across the township. It is registered under RERA, registration number RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/379/111/2019/73. You can check it on the state RERA portal before booking.

The project is positioned for expatriate tenants and investors, with leasing assistance for expat tenants. Sky chambers on alternate floors are staffed with round-the-clock hospitality services, each apartment has an air purification system, and the developer describes the project as ISO certified.

Central Park Resorts is an established township in Sector 48, Gurugram, set within 20 acres of greens and about 3 km from Rajiv Chowk on NH-48. Golf Course Road is about 10 km away and IGI Airport about 20 km. For the kind of tenant Belaperla targets, a settled neighbourhood and a reasonable drive to the airport and the city's business districts are what count.

Residents get a business centre, concierge services, a health club and fitness centre, spa and sauna, and a salon. Dining includes an authentic Japanese restaurant, a speciality cuisine restaurant, a juice bar and a library bar. For sport and leisure there's squash, lawn tennis, indoor badminton, table tennis, billiards, indoor rock climbing, golf putting, cricket practice nets and a cycling track, plus a kids' aqua and terra park.

The township's tunnel driveway keeps the ground free of vehicles, and security is five-tier. Corner residences also get a jacuzzi, which is a nice extra if you are choosing between units.

There are two unit types, the Studio and the 1 BHK Suite, both with price on request. NRIVEST can share unit sizes and the current price sheet.

For an NRI investor who wants a rental unit rather than a family home, a furnished, serviced suite has obvious appeal. The developer handles the hospitality, and its leasing assistance for expat tenants takes some of the work of finding a tenant off your plate.

Be clear-eyed, though. Leasing assistance is not a rental guarantee, and a small serviced unit is a different asset from a family home, since what you earn depends on occupancy and on the service charges. Ask for the service charge, the furnishing list and the leasing terms in writing, and confirm the expected possession date with the developer.

Central Park is a Gurugram developer, best known locally for its large projects along Sohna Road. Its newer work includes Delphine, a new launch in Sector 104 on about 7.85 acres with 40-floor towers.
